Do not miss the riveting interview with Vithai Zaraunker by R. Benedito Ferrao. 
Both being academics, they dwell on why it is vitally important to preserve 
Goa's Velip traditions.
The illustrated book The Story of Janakye Bai (Goa 1556, 2026) chronicles a 
tale that has been passed down over several generations amongst Velip people, 
one of Goa’s Indigenous communities. The story revolves around Janakye Bai, a 
girl who chooses to run away from home rather than resign herself to a fate she 
refuses to accept. This book appears in two editions, one in Velip Konkani and 
the other in English. Vithai Zaraunker, a member of the Velip community and an 
Assistant Professor of Women’s Studies at the D. D. Kosambi School of Social 
Sciences and Behavioural Studies at Goa University, envisioned this book 
project which records the story of Janakye bai as narrated by Leelavati 
Zaraunkar and Sita Vaiz. Salil Chaturvedi translated the tale, which has been 
illustrated by Asavari Gurav.
